Book Description
Excerpt from Dictionary of English and French Idioms: Illustrating, by Phrases and Examples, the Peculiarities of Both Languages, and Designed as a Supplement to the Ordinary Dictionaries Now in Use As this volume has been prepared especially with the view of enabling the American to translate his own language into grammatical, idiomatical, written and colloquial French, and of rendering it equally useful for the library, the parlor, and the counting-house, as well as the school-room, such phrases have been selected in preference as relate to literature, the fine arts, and commerce, besides conversational expressions, and terms of etiquette in established use. These have been carefully classified and translated into French, according to the rules of Grammar and the usage of polite society; in such cases, when the sense is liable to be affected by the context or circumstances, the translation is made in as many forms or synonymous expressions as are necessary to illustrate the various shades of meaning in which the term may occur.
